22 Komako Way, Atawhai, Nelson

Just 10 minutes from Nelson’s vibrant city centre, 22 Komako Way offers a rare opportunity to experience an authentic New Zealand lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Positioned above the valley with expansive views towards Tasman Bay, this exceptional property combines privacy, sustainability and contemporary living within a truly natural setting.

Upon completion of the proposed boundary adjustment, the property will comprise approximately 3.81 hectares (9.4 acres ) , accessed via a private gated right-of-way shared with only four other homes. This small community reflects a shared appreciation for privacy, environmental stewardship and a considered way of living.

Surrounded by regenerating native bush, established plantings and abundant birdlife, the property offers an immersive connection to the natural landscape - a place where the sounds of native birds replace the pace of city life, yet Nelson’s cafés, restaurants, airport and amenities are close by.

The 210sqm architecturally designed residence has been thoughtfully positioned to maximise sunshine, outlook and energy efficiency. Passive solar principles, polished concrete floors and quality insulation work together to provide natural warmth and comfort throughout the seasons. Solar generation and rainwater collection further enhance the property's sustainability credentials, supporting a high degree of self-sufficient living while maintaining modern comforts.

Inside, the home combines refined simplicity with functionality. Generous open-plan living spaces are filled with natural light, with seamless indoor-outdoor connections allowing the surrounding landscape to become an extension of the home. Premium kitchen and bathroom finishes, considered design and quality craftsmanship create a residence that is both elegant and practical.

The grounds have been carefully developed to complement the natural environment, with native plantings enhancing biodiversity while creating a low-maintenance sanctuary. Every element has been considered to allow owners to enjoy the beauty of the setting without the demands traditionally associated with larger rural properties.

A separate sleepout provides additional flexibility and could be utilised as guest accommodation, a creative studio, wellness space, home office or private retreat for family and visitors.

For international buyers seeking an exceptional New Zealand base, 22 Komako Way represents a rare combination of natural beauty, sustainability and accessibility. The property may also appeal to eligible overseas purchasers exploring the Active Investor Plus pathway. Prospective purchasers should seek independent legal advice regarding their eligibility under the Overseas Investment Act and any applicable requirements.

Beautifully balancing privacy, sustainability and refined contemporary design, 22 Komako Way offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find - a peaceful sanctuary immersed in nature, just ten minutes from Nelson, one of New Zealand's most desirable coastal cities.
